I was just changing Tiko's water and had to move his branch. He took great offence and tail rattled at me - the cheeky monkey!! Does anyone else's corn do this? He is currently buried in his Aspen in a mood (I imagine!).

He just rattled it against the faun side so it sounded really loud. It worked though as I retreated with the water bowl!! Bad snake mommy, bet he won't rattle tomorrow though on Foodie Friday!!!

How exciting, I only fed Tiko for the 1st time last Friday but I was so nervous I didn't enjoy it. I am looking forward to paying a bit more attention tomorrow and relaxing a bit! He is out of his mood now and looking at me typing this!!

Nerve racking your very first time isn't it. Hope you're more relaxed tomorrow and get to enjoy it more.
He's checking what you're typing and making sure he's still getting fed tomorrow!

All three have done it to me at some point, usually cos I've woken them or something. Its hard to tell ^^'''' They don't close their eyes like normal peoples!!! Boa and Ripley have both rattled a little, never any hissing along side it. Widget however has hissed, rattled and struck in one instance and boy did I back up quick. Bit me twice in that instance, but at least I am now aware fully that it hurts not a smidge, lol! I bothered him later on anyway, and he was fine XD I'm a persistent mother, and they've kind of just accepted it, all three of them!

Tango has never tail rattled but Phoenix does it all the time.

Tbh I don't think I bought a Cornsnake with Phoenix, shes more like a Viper x Rattlesnake (look out for my Ouch post).

Best wishes

Andromeda rattles all the time, strikes now and again especially when she's hungry and has even hissed at me. She's a real grumpy madam. She seems to be under the impression she's an anaconda-sized deadly rattlesname, but she only hatched in June and is tiny. I think it's hilarious.

When she strikes it's like getting headbumped by a cotton bud, she's so small and feeble. Doesn't stop her though.
